Continental to Oceanic Rifts: Formation and Evolution

Snow, Jonathan

T003
Continental to Oceanic Rifts: Formation and Evolution

Session ID#: 251396

Session Description:

The physics and chemistry of rift formation and evolution are among the most fundamental of Earth system processes. Continental rifts, oceanic rifts and backarc rifts in both environments have a host of commonalities that extend well beyond their external mechanical boundary conditions. Time and rate boundary conditions on lithosphere and mantle dynamics, lithospheric properties at rift inception and spreading, the phase relations of melting, the mechanics of melt transport all play significant roles in the evolution of the rift from extension, to rifting to sea floor spreading. This session aims to bring together oceanic and continental rift communities to understand the common types of mechanisms, data sets and intellectual approaches that are common to both communities. Seagoing and continental data sets are welcome that constrain structure, kinematics, hazards, dynamics of processes and models of the overall rift environment as it evolves toward spreading.
